How to Rip PS2 Games to Eboot

The Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console has been bought more than any other video game device in the industry's history. Sony has stopped supporting the 11-year-old console, which means PS2 game backups will become increasingly important as you cannot find all of the PS2 games that used to be on the market. HDLoader is a program that runs on the PS2 and allows you to back up the PS2 game to the PS2 hard drive as a playable eboot file.
